Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX68

Excellent – This is a very high quality camera in a extremely compact package. It features a Leica lens and has an excellent range of features. I am impressed with the quality of the switches and the overall build quality. There are times I would prefer a larger lens or maybe a DSLR, but this is a camera that is extremely portable. I found the low light performance is quite good in auto mode or manual mode once you choose the right ISO with auto exposure setting. This camera has some shutter latency mainly due to the autofocus. The latency isn't ideal, but it's no worse than the other compact cameras I considered buying. Very compact compact size and low profile, Made in Japan, Leica Lens for sharp pictures, Toggle switch makes it possible to review pics without opening the lens. Image stabiliser works really well. Supports manual ISO setting and exposure options. 25mm wide angle lens may be too wide in some cases so it helps to zoom. Pics using flash do not have a perfectly neutral white balance, they are often a little bit red.
